SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
GENERAL
The FP300 Food Processor is used for slicing, shredding, grating, Julienne cutting and dicing
vegetables, fruits, or cheese. The compact unit is designed for ease of operation and quick cleaning.
A Work Table, a Wall Rack, and a wide range of slicer, shredder, and dicing plates are available
options.
INSTALLATION
UNPACKING
Immediately after unpacking the FP300, check for possible shipping damage. If the Food Processor
is found to be damaged, save the packaging material and contact the carrier within 15 days of delivery.
Prior to installation, test the electrical service to assure that it agrees with the specifications on the data
plate located at the rear.
Do not lift the unit with any hinged or extended parts; lift only with one hand under the protruding lip
at the rear near the base of the motor compartment and the other hand underneath the chute.
LOCATION
The FP300 should be operated on a suitable counter height surface. A pan (not provided), suitable for
kitchen use, can be used to capture the product at the exit chute.

OPERATION
WARNING: ROTATING KNIVES INSIDE. ALWAYS USE PUSHER PLATE. KEEP HANDS OUT.
Proper assembly of the FP300 including selection of the appropriate cutters is necessary for correct
operation of the food processor (Figs. 1 & 2). Refer to the Cutting Tool Guide for sizes of cutters and
refer to the appropriate operation instructions.
CONTROLS
START (Green) — Push to start.
STOP (Red) — Push to stop.
Interlock switches prevent the machine from operating when the feed hopper is out of position or the
pusher plate is raised above the feed hopper. If these features do not function as described, contact
your local Hobart service office.
During operation, when the pusher plate is fully raised above the feed hopper, the machine stops and
allows the pusher plate to be rotated counterclockwise for loading. To continue operation, rotate the
pusher plate clockwise until it is directly above the feed hopper; as the pusher plate begins to lower
into the hopper, the machine will restart — you do not need to push the green START switch unless
STOP was pressed.
Always push the red STOP switch before changing cutters or cleaning.
